Porto Furado

Share Image

Trail in the mountain, between Vilar river, that crosses the village, and the Andorinhas (swallows) river, in which is Serra Serrada dam. The landscape is deeply marked by granite outcrops with rounded shapes, emerging through a vegetation cover dominated by shrubs (heather, Genista tridentata, Halimium spp), also with areas of Pyrenean oak and birch, and by “lameiros” (seminatural meadows), occupying the riverbanks. You have the opportunity to visit both the dam and Roman channel of Porto Furado and the Castro Curisco rock art complex, testimonies of the ancient occupation of this territory. It has also panoramic view over the Sabor river valley and Nogueira mountain, to the south.

Points of Interest

See the leaflet (in Portuguese). Note that this short distance hiking trail intersects a long distance one. You should always follow the red and yellow colour signs since the white and red signs are those of the long distance hiking trail.

Bring field guides (birds and plants), as well as binoculars and camera.
